First of all, apologies if I have taken a photo of the unmodified side.... But its now impossible to see the remains of the old nameplate and I cant remember which side it was........

As mentioned earlier this has previously had the incorrectly placed nameplate removed with Tcut and was then varnished to get rid of the shine. Obliviously prior to doing this I striped down the model removing the lights, cabs and glazing.

While all of this was very easy to remove, it was an absolute swine to replace everything! Still, having finally got it all back into the bodyshell, all that remains is a need to solder up a new circuit board (having removed the RTR one when breaking down the body and chassis.

Getting the body back onto the chassis was also something of a pain, taking a while to get all the wiring into a position where it dosn't interfere with the fit. (a problem I've also had on my other 57s)

Still a fair bit of extra work is needed, along with the aforementioned wiring the model also still requires the usual end detailing, removal of the NEM coupling pockets and fitting of new wheels.
